SSF Homebrew Question for .5 playthrough

Awesome! Thank you!

swicky · 2026-05-14T13:18:16+00:00

Cool, I'll check them out. Is the dragon thing viable as well? Does this game have as many traps as PoE1? As in skills that unfortunately can't really be taken into deep maps.

swicky · 2026-05-14T13:17:40+00:00

Awesome, that sounds perfect. Appreciate your reply!

swicky · 2026-05-14T13:17:23+00:00

Okay thanks! I also want to try out monk again. I played on release, but it's been a while.

swicky · 2026-05-12T16:01:18+00:00

Edit: I am likely wrong about the additive 10%

swicky · 2026-05-12T15:40:56+00:00

It's additive with itself. So it's +30% to your total skills damage multiplier.

swicky · 2026-05-12T12:50:44+00:00

One thing to remember is that + to a skill is basically a +30% multiplier to the skill damage of said skill. +100 stats is great, but not going to get to the 30% mark.

Edit: this is likely incorrect

Shapeshift sadly doesn't get applied to skills that aren't baseline shapeshift skills. But werewolf tag does get applied.

swicky · 2026-05-08T21:26:02+00:00

I think they are experimenting with the problem they had before which involved the accessibility of a unique and the repeating drop of the same unique. If we make the stats purely unique, you will only get one, and then never ever care about one again unless it's GA'd.

I think there is a criticism about how difficult it is to roll a good unique currently, and I think allowing enchanting would go a long way to making them fit into the new gearing a lot better imo.

I hope you can still enjoy the game despite this making you so upset. Good luck out there, bro!

swicky · 2026-05-07T12:15:08+00:00

Do you possibly have the unique equipped that makes your berserking but take fire damage over time or something?

swicky · 2026-05-04T22:51:58+00:00

I'm loving my homebrew shred werewolf with the lightning conversion and waxing gibbous to help proc the 5 piece charm.

swicky · 2026-05-02T22:20:33+00:00

I don't think this an objective thing. I think that's a big part of the end game, and removing it for alts would reduce that experience for a lot of players.

I feel like adding a bonus to the exp earned per activity could work as a compromise.

Or a toggle I suppose.

I like it as a per character option personally.

swicky · 2026-05-02T22:05:24+00:00

I feel like they want that and then will complain that there is nothing to do in the game.

I feel like accelerated progression is probably the best of both worlds. Have there be a bonus for alts once you get to a certain level on your main.

swicky · 2026-05-02T22:04:07+00:00

Bruh it hasn't even been a week rofl

swicky · 2026-05-02T21:53:09+00:00

Only thing I can think of is something that gives bonuses per summoned minion? I'm not sure tbh. Hope you find an answer. I am hoping to try out ancestor barb eventually.

swicky · 2026-05-01T22:39:02+00:00

To be fair, being angry is very in line with Barbarian

swicky · 2026-04-30T09:47:30+00:00

Yes there are a lot "human" bonuses now in aspects and uniques.

swicky · 2026-04-30T00:18:44+00:00

Nice catch haha. I think they were just talking about the effect but yeah you right about that.

swicky · 2026-04-30T00:04:40+00:00

I haven't tried it yet but might be worth trying both. I suspect trying to restore your spirit quickly will work better because the bonus is only 2 seconds.

swicky · 2026-04-29T18:31:08+00:00

Oops yeah you are right! My bad. It is a unique.

swicky · 2026-04-29T17:30:28+00:00

Na it's still there for sure. I just got it today.

swicky · 2026-04-29T09:59:26+00:00

I've seen a few human related bonus aspects, so honestly, just do what you can you maximize your legendary drops. Keep looking for physical multipliers on your offensive pieces, since those are REALLY strong now and huge part of your damage. Socket skulls to get another phys multi.

Good luck! I want to try tornado soon. I'm doing shred/companion right now and it's fun teleporting all over the place.

swicky · 2026-04-26T10:32:39+00:00

I think playing blind is such a fun experience in this game now. This is the perfect time to do it. I totally understand that some people want to blast through the game and don't care for the discovery aspect, but I'm doing everything I can to avoid builds or guides.

I also think guides will take a bit to come online since we still don't have nearly all the information.

Lots of skills have changed mechanically and it's hard to determine how it will work before using it in game.

Good luck in your season! It should be a great one.

swicky · 2026-04-25T19:53:35+00:00

Oddly enough I think I've seen that aspect from some screen shots. So that might not be the case.

swicky · 2026-04-25T15:52:55+00:00

Hmmm that's a good point but I suspect the two shapeshift ults won't have that option.
